Hey Gang! Happy “feels like Spring”! The best thing about this weather is the footing. Some of my usual routes that are off-limits in winter are still available to me. I’ve been caught before in both Taylor Creek Park and the Moore Park Ravine where I’ve stubbornly maintained my route despite the ice, and […]
Hi Everyone! Anyone noticed the days getting a bit longer? I have. Or maybe I’m just waking up later – ha. Anyway, enjoy the springier-like temps while we have them and the ok footing. I’m sure we’ll vortex down again at least once more so take a breath and enjoy while you can. […]
Hey Everyone! Hey we survived our first big cold snap! And we had as many people out at hills as I’ve seen! Not out of the winter woods, but if we can do that, we can really get through this. What I’ve been thinking about this week is the relationship between health and […]
Hi All! Looks like winter has finally arrived. Good news for people who like to do things on snow – not as easy a time for people who run outside. We’ve been here before and know how to do this. Dress warm, slow down where you have to, and keep getting out. This […]
Hey Gang! Is it just me or did the return to “real life” after the Christmas break blast in at a pace we weren’t ready for? Wow. Well, hopefully our batteries are all recharged and it won’t take long to get back into the routine. And now we have lengthening days to look forward […]
Hi All! Happy New Year! A few from our crew ran the Hair of the Dog 9K on New Year’s Day: congrats to Erin, Chris, Cassidy and Nir! A few more of us started the year by Polar Dipping in the lake. Not sure whether that deserves congratulations or a concerned look, but it’s […]

Hi Everyone! Happy Holidays to all! Hope you’re all enjoying some time with the people you love and, let’s be honest, a different type of hectic-ness. And also hopefully you’re finding some downtime. Over the past few days I’ve been thinking about traditions. Why we have them, what they mean, whether they’re important. […]
Hi Everyone! First up I want to say a huge Thank-You to everyone for my beautiful and thoughtful Christmas gifts! I will Blitz my body thoroughly (it is in need of a good blitzing) and the CAMH donation is right up my alley. And I absolutely love the Epic Runs of the World book. It’s […]
Hey Gang! As usual, I left out a couple of results from last week’s Holiday 10K: Chris Fortin in what I think is a PB of sub-40 (wohoo!), and Ian Gray – honourary LES-er! I do believe races are done for a while – there is a Boxing Day 10 miler in Hamilton and […]
